1 Princípio do evangelho de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Deus.

2 Conforme está escrito na profecia de Isaías:

Eis aí envio diante da tua face o meu mensageiro, o qual preparará o teu caminho;

3 voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas;

4 apareceu João Batista no deserto, pregando batismo de arrependimento para remissão de pecados. 5 Saíam a ter com ele toda a província da Judeia e todos os habitantes de Jerusalém; e, confessando os seus pecados, eram batizados por ele no rio Jordão. 6 As vestes de João eram feitas de pelos de camelo; ele trazia um cinto de couro e se alimentava de gafanhotos e mel silvestre.

7 E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, do qual não sou digno de, curvando-me, desatar-lhe as correias das sandálias. 8 Eu vos tenho batizado com água; ele, porém, vos batizará com o Espírito Santo.

9 Naqueles dias, veio Jesus de Nazaré da Galileia e por João foi batizado no rio Jordão. 10 Logo ao sair da água, viu os céus rasgarem-se e o Espírito descendo como pomba sobre ele. 11 Então, foi ouvida uma voz dos céus: Tu és o meu Filho amado, em ti me comprazo.

12 E logo o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto, 13 onde permaneceu quarenta dias, sendo tentado por Satanás; estava com as feras, mas os anjos o serviam.

14 Depois de João ter sido preso, foi Jesus para a Galileia, pregando o evangelho de Deus, 15 dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo; arrependei-vos e crede no evangelho.

16 Caminhando junto ao mar da Galileia, viu os irmãos Simão e André, que lançavam a rede ao mar, porque eram pescadores. 17 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde após mim, e eu vos farei pescadores de homens. 18 Então, eles deixaram imediatamente as redes e o seguiram. 19 Pouco mais adiante, viu Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e João, seu irmão, que estavam no barco consertando as redes. 20 E logo os chamou. Deixando eles no barco a seu pai Zebedeu com os empregados, seguiram após Jesus.

21 Depois, entraram em Cafarnaum, e, logo no sábado, foi ele ensinar na sinagoga. 22 Maravilhavam-se da sua doutrina, porque os ensinava como quem tem autoridade e não como os escribas. 23 Não tardou que aparecesse na sinagoga um homem possesso de espírito imundo, o qual bradou: 24 Que temos nós contigo, Jesus Nazareno? Vieste para perder-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus! 25 Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te e sai desse homem. 26 Então, o espírito imundo, agitando-o violentamente e bradando em alta voz, saiu dele. 27 Todos se admiraram, a ponto de perguntarem entre si: Que vem a ser isto? Uma nova doutrina! Com autoridade ele ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem! 28 Então, correu célere a fama de Jesus em todas as direções, por toda a circunvizinhança da Galileia.

29 E, saindo eles da sinagoga, foram, com Tiago e João, diretamente para a casa de Simão e André. 30 A sogra de Simão achava-se acamada, com febre; e logo lhe falaram a respeito dela. 31 Então, aproximando-se, tomou-a pela mão; e a febre a deixou, passando ela a servi-los.

32 À tarde, ao cair do sol, trouxeram a Jesus todos os enfermos e endemoninhados. 33 Toda a cidade estava reunida à porta. 34 E ele curou muitos doentes de toda sorte de enfermidades; também expeliu muitos demônios, não lhes permitindo que falassem, porque sabiam quem ele era.

35 Tendo-se levantado alta madrugada, saiu, foi para um lugar deserto e ali orava. 36 Procuravam-no diligentemente Simão e os que com ele estavam. 37 Tendo-o encontrado, lhe disseram: Todos te buscam. 38 Jesus, porém, lhes disse: Vamos a outros lugares, às povoações vizinhas, a fim de que eu pregue também ali, pois para isso é que eu vim. 39 Então, foi por toda a Galileia, pregando nas sinagogas deles e expelindo os demônios.

40 Aproximou-se dele um leproso rogando-lhe, de joelhos: Se quiseres, podes purificar-me. 41 Jesus, profundamente compadecido, estendeu a mão, tocou-o e disse-lhe: Quero, fica limpo! 42 No mesmo instante, lhe desapareceu a lepra, e ficou limpo. 43 Fazendo-lhe, então, veemente advertência, logo o despediu 44 e lhe disse: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém; mas vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece pela tua purificação o que Moisés determinou, para servir de testemunho ao povo. 45 Mas, tendo ele saído, entrou a propalar muitas coisas e a divulgar a notícia, a ponto de não mais poder Jesus entrar publicamente em qualquer cidade, mas permanecia fora, em lugares ermos; e de toda parte vinham ter com ele.

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 And there went out to him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

6 And John was clothed with camel' hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

7 And preached, saying, There comes one mightier than I after me, the lace of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending on him:

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

12 And immediately the spirit drives him into the wilderness.

13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent you, and believe the gospel.

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

17 And Jesus said to them, Come you after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

19 And when he had gone a little farther there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commands he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

29 And immediately, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 But Simon' wife' mother lay sick of a fever, and immediately they tell him of her.

31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

37 And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for you.

38 And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If you will, you can make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I will; be you clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he straightly charged him, and immediately sent him away;

44 And said to him, See you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
